I’ve heard it be encouraged that users should curate their own experience on Lemmy by blocking accounts, communities, and/or instances that you don’t want to see. I imagine I’m not the only one curious how my total compares to others’
I’m at 142, and I’m unsure if I should pretend to be bashful about that total
3? I generally don’t care, but some people are insufferable. They spew nonsense meant only to get a rise out of others and have a chip on their shoulder. Interacting with their existence is a waste of mine, so bye bye.
Just a handful…
Mostly non-english instances or subs that I wouldn’t be able to read anyway.
and just a few users, who are big spammers.
Looks like I’ve blocked 2? One for bigotry reasons I can’t recall, and the other for being just having annoying posting habits (applying a license to every comment like those facebook chainletters).
None? I’ve never felt the need to. I’m not categorically opposed to it, but it’s never occurred to me that I should block a particular user.
Seven users, a bunch of communities and one instance.
0
I use Connect and tag users rather than block them. That way, I can still see stuff that’s posted but I have a hint as to whether or not they are someone with whom I want to interact.
That’s a good idea! I like Eternity’s UI too much to switch to an app with more features, unfortunately
Ach, totally fair.
That’s a feature I didn’t know I needed. Too bad Connect is proprietary IIRC
Boost also has a tagging feature. Their Lemmy app may be even better than their old reddit app.
I dunno, the browser lags when I scroll down it.
It’s trivial to build huge ones up. This account is only as old as the reddit bullshit in 23, and I know I’m over a hundred at least.
Humans are assholes. On the internet, they don’t work as hard to pretend they’re not. And, they’ll often go harder at it than anywhere else. So you block a lot if you want to avoid future interactions with the same asshole.
A few. Mostly extremist mods who censor a comment I made that didn’t fit their echo chamber. They seem to feel the need to message you after, to reiterate they only allow their views to be expressed, and to flex. I just block em.
Blocking desalines using the software he helped write is very satisfying, in a sad sort of way.
Zero, I ain’t no bitch. But I have blocked a lot of pages. No anime or languages I don’t know or Linux shit for me.
I think that leaves star trek?
And cats
And wizards - by far the greatest community out there.
None. I don’t engage enough for it to be an issue. I also know how to move on with real life if things get spicy (which happened on Reddit a lot).
I think 0.
on my sh.itjust.works account I blocked a couple bots I think
Just 11 for me, all spambots. Luckily, I’ve not had many problems with real people around here.
just a couple of bots i dont care about and several mods i really dont care about
several mods
Lol blocking mods is so funny to me for some reason
a few dozen, mostly hexbear users. Though that was mostly from when I started using Lemmy, I haven’t felt the need to block anyone in a long time. My list of blocked communities is much larger.
